■
Daytime running light system (if equipped)
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Automatic light off system
●When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30
seconds after all doors and glass hatch are closed with the engine switch
turned to the ACC or LOCK position. (The lights turn off immediately if
the LOCK button on the wireless remote control is pressed twice after all
doors are locked.)
● When only the tail lights come on: The tail lights turn off automatically
with the engine switch turned to the ACC or LOCK position and the
driver’s door is opened.
If the driver’s door is kept open, the lights automatically turn off after 30 min-
utes.
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the ON position, or turn
the headlight switch off once and then back to the or position.
